Default Do I need a ProComp/KC/etc. lightbar?

My wrangler has a stock bumper w/o integral fog lights; I have two old Marchal 750s mounted under the bumper using the stock holes in the bumper support for the worthless air dam. However, I am also planning on adding real driving lights; for this, do I need a light bar, or can I drill from the top through the bumper cover and metal support and mount them directly to the bumper with any chance of success, or rather, not looking like I hired the guys from the Nerd Herd to do it? Has anyone done this? If so can you post pics? I would be greatly appreciative!

Also if anyone knows where I can find clear acrylic covers for my Marchals please let me know.

My dad and I drilled straight through the plastic and metal bumper to mount my KCs.

That looks really nice.

Very clean install. This maybe my first official mod.

(Not counting Rubi wheels and taking of the plastic bumper covers)

EDIT: JKid are those driving lights on the bumper and long range lights on the windshield?

if you like the way lights look on the bumper, is very easy just to drill on it.
